I adore the kids I care for, but each one has some little idiosyncracy that drives me nuts! And I think since I have a long vacation next week, these little traits seem magnified this week...it's all a matter of perception, I know! I was noticing this this morning and was reminded of the phrase "what we focus on expands". Being a day care provider (like parenting) is a constant reminder of all we need to grow into more enlightened human beings...compassion, patience, focusing on what is most meaningful are part of our every day experience. I am so thankful for this aspect of my job, but boy is it a challenge! I was wondering if others feel this job has greatly impacted their personal/spiritual growth.

:: Me, too!
But seriously, I am someone who is used to trying to please everyone and not step on any toes....but considering the number of toes I've stepped on over the last 2 years, I'd have to say yes, I am absolutely growing personally. I'm considering this maturing in a way, too.- Flag
